We stopped at Taco Party on our road trip home from Minnesota to California, and wow--what a gem. We tried several different tacos along with the guacamole, and everything was unique, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The flavors were creative without being over the top, and each taco felt like its own little masterpiece. The service was warm and welcoming, and the whole place has a fun, laid-back vibe that instantly puts you in a good mood. We genuinely enjoyed everything about our stop here--food, service, and ambiance. Highly recommend making this a stop if you're passing through Grand Junction! read more

Tacoparty - The bar was super fun! - Tacos Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

The service was great! It was my first time ever going to this place and the food was very good! If you're looking for an upbeat place and a place to go with friends/family this place is it. Very chill however it can be on the expensive side. Overall great place! read more

I was super excited to try this place. Reviews came across as positive and I was looking for something different. We ordered 2 margaritas that had very little alcohol and tasted like sugar water. Chips and salsa were okay, they only had one salsa that day. It's supposed to be a trio of salsas not just one. When I got home, the tacos were absolutely insulting! I felt like I was at Taco Bell. For a bill that was over $100 this was not what I expected and definitely won't be returning. Super disappointed with this experience! read more

Tacoparty - Crispy Shell Carnitas - Tacos Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

We visited Tacoparty for a dinner after hiking at Colorado National Monument for the day. I was still suffering a bit from food poisoning from the day before, so this is essentially a collection of quick notes that aren't completely fleshed out as normal: Pork Belly Al Pastor Taco ($7) - Is this really pork belly? It's more of a fatty-ish pork, kind of tough, not really tender like I'd associate with a nicely cooked pork belly. Nice sprinkling of cojita for salty, savory bite. Tangy, vinegary, crunchy peppers and onions. The al pastor is quite fruity and very porky in taste. Avocado sauce drizzled on top? Served on a nicely pliable and toothsome flour tortilla. Hot Fried Chicken Taco ($7) - Chicken is very smoky. Aioli mixed with huitlacoche, gives creaminess and a flavor I can't describe that well. Perhaps a bit of earthy mushroominess? The chicken is only a tiny bit spicy; in fact, I'd hardly call it "hot fried chicken". The "fried" part is kind of a misnomer as well. I guess it's fried, but it's fried so lightly that the batter doesn't develop any sort of crisp or crunch. There are julienned apple pieces included that add a nice sweetness to the taco, and are actually way more crisp than the chicken. Crispy Shell Pulled Pork Taco ($6) - Ingredients very scant. Barely any meat inside, maybe half an ounce. It's pretty good pulled pork, moist, but not much there. Plenty of veggies to round out the taco. Skip this one meh. Duck Confit Tostada ($9) - Crunchy blue corn fried tortilla flat on the bottom, topped with a bounty of ingredients. Firstly a layer of soft and creamy cheese spread on the bottom. There's the duck - a bit scant, but adding nice meatiness. There's hominy, adding a bit of a firm bite. A bunch of veggies. Topped with ezapote, giving an anise-like flavor with some minty notes. Sliced serrano - at first I thought these were jalapeno, but then a fire started in my mouth. Overall, all the tacos served at Tacoparty are very well put together with nice clean flavors. I did find it strange that everything arrived lukewarm to cold. This place is very pricey, double or triple the cost of more hole-in-the-wall taco shops (after tax/service charge, it was $37 for 4 tacos and the portion size was so small, we ended up getting more food elsewhere). They do make up for the price difference somewhat in quality. I think there's a bit of identity confusion here though. They try to be upscale in pricing, plating, and ingredient sourcing, but it's fast casual/counter service. Still, for an upscale taco (but not necessarily experience), Tacoparty can't be beat. Note: Tacoparty charges an 18% service charge, which is advertised on the menu and the cashier informs all customers about it. Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms read more

The food here is so creative and dreamily delicious! The colors and flavors are a treat for the eye and the tastebuds!!! We were staying up the street for the weekend and we ended up there twice. The food isn't heavy and it's so satisfying! The roasted cauliflower taco was my favorite hands down and my husband was loving the Roasted mitaki mushroom taco and the guacamole... I could eat this everyday for weeks! It's soooo delicious! The margarita was very fresh and delicious too!!! You can feel they love what they do here. read more

The menu here seemed interesting, but when we actually took the first bites of the four tacos we'd ordered, it was clear it's actually amazing! Each had a distinct wonderful combination of flavors. Have eaten thousands of tacos in hundreds of places and can say that the offering at Tacoparty are the most original and amazing. Had we had longer, would have been tempted to stay and stuff ourselves trying everything on the menu. But not this time. All the staff we interacted with were friendly, full of information and made is feel like welcome regulars even though was our first visit. Outstanding place. Loved Tacoparty! read more

Tacoparty - Great diverse different tacos - Tacos Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

This place was highly recommended so we went for lunch. Wow! Easily the most creative and delicious tacos we have ever eaten. Options ranged from pulled pork to hand dipped cod to duck confit, but also a hot honey chicken and a beef brisket taco. We have even returned to try the rest of the menu, including the renowned guacamole. Please don't miss this place if you're visiting like we are...truly unique! Cute and trendy place, too. Forewarned- they do charge an automatic 18% gratuity but the service is really good. read more

Tacoparty - Clockwise from top left: Hand battered cod, pulled pork crispy taco, duck confit and hot honey chicken. All amazing! - Tacos Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

First time going to it. Really cool spot but terrible pricing. 7$ for one taco that is pretty small.

Every time I pass through Grand Junction, this is where I'm going to eat. I love the innovative combinations of flavors--I wish I had a bigger stomach, so I could try all of the tacos at once! I also love how much of their menu is gluten-free. I went with my parents most recently, and we each got different tacos so we could sample a bunch of options. My personal ranking was: cauliflower, al pastor, duck, then brisket, but even that 4th place taco was still FANTASTIC. There's no shame in coming in last when everything tasted amazing! We also all had the watermelon agua fresca, which was superb. My mom thought it was a touch too sweet, but my dad and I were very happy with it. The guacamole is killer--fresh and uniquely flavorful. The chips are corn, but they share a fryer with things that contain gluten, so gluten-free folks should use their best judgment. The waitstaff were fabulous as well and made excellent recommendations to suit my dietary needs. I also love the elegantly funky ambiance. This place rocks! read more

This place is absolutely delicious and I have been here a ton. However, the last several times I've been there, the tacos are just literally flat with very little ingredients. I left feeling ripped off and not statisfied. I hope they get back to filling their tacos so they meet the cost they charge for them. read more

Okay Grand Junction food scene, I see you!!! Tacoparty really exceeded my expectations in the taco realm. I am generally a medium fan of tacos. I like them but I don't love them. Tacoparty out here making me feel some type of way!!! I had the cauliflower and the rockfish taco. Both were extremely tasty. The cauliflower taco was so flavorful with its mole and the cauliflower was cooked to a perfect texture. The rockfish had a delicious slaw and sauce and the flour tortilla rounded it out. 10/10 on these tacos. Okay let's talk about that guac. Wowie. Furikake? On guac? Eff yeah. I would highly recommend a trip here if you're in town! It's technically a work-a-rant since you have to order at the counter but I will forgive them for this as the food is just so freaking delish. read more

What a great little place with awesome food, reasonably priced, and wonderful service. We had the chips and salsa (3 different salsas to try) and hot chicken tacos. The strawberry slaw was amazing with the hot honey chicken tacos. So very good. I would highly recommend this family owned gem!!! read more

Love the ambiance! Great service! We enjoyed a prickly pear Paloma, El Jefe old fashion, and a pineapple cactus margarita! The tacos are amazing! Especially the pork belly al pastor! read more

Tacoparty, STAT! I'm a HUGE fan of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (aka Triple D) with host Guy Fieri! When I watched an episode about Tacoparty in a neighboring city an hour away...I just had to go!!! Let me just say...I was in total awe of the episode and was literally salivating over the tacos and homemade guacamole, but to actually experience it IRL was AH-MAZING!! First off, the place was getting busy by the minute, the vibe was super cool and the overall restaurant and decor was my kinda place! Plenty of seating, a cool bar and I loved the artwork and skateboards adorning the walls! On to the food! We ordered some chips and guac (I'll get back to that). For the tacos, we got the hot fried chicken, crispy cauliflower, pork belly al pastor and the yam calabacitas. Holy mother of street tacos! They were all so delish and actually a lot bigger and more filling than I expected! And that guac...OMG...it was almost too pretty to eat...apple, radish pico, serrano, herbs and amaranth furikake...google it ;-) The service was excellent and quite honestly, they were the best tacos I've ever had! Highly recommend! Your BEST Tacoparty awaits! read more

Excellent food and excellent service. However, I really don't appreciate the mandatory 18% "gratuity" . The sign on the wall says I am required to give you this money because you believe your staff did a good job. I don't disagree that they do a good job - the service was spectacular. - but if you feel they are that valuable to your business, perhaps you should pay them more and allow us to tip them if I believe the service is good. The mandatory 18% "gratuity" is not a gratuity, it's a fee But again, overall, the food and service was fantastic read more

Hate to say it but lived in GJ my whole life and finally made it to TacoParty. Started with the guacamole. And it is a must it is not your regular guacamole. Please see picture. Tacos are not your normal tacos either. But the favor is unmatched. Presentation is what you would find at a high end restaurant and the quality of the food is high class. No wonder the head chef was up for a James Beard award. That is all I need to say. read more

Tacoparty - Guacamole dip. - Tacos Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

Taco Party is amazing! We were in town for a work trip and it hit the spot. It is trendy but is loved by locals and travelers alike it seems. The guacamole is a must. Margaritas - unique! Tacos are adventurous. Get outside your comfort zone and give this place a try! read more

I considered giving them a three only because I didn't love most of what I got....but that cauliflower taco was so incredible I had to bump to a 4. I really wanted to try the pork belly taco but they were out of that by the time we arrived, which to their benefit was close to closing time. The chips were really good, nice and crunchy but the salsa wasn't our fave. For being a roasted salsa it was good, but that's just not our personal favorite kind of salsa. The skinny marg was odd...it had a weird flavor we couldn't quite put our finger on. And also tasted of very heavy fake lime juice...would def not order again. Overall we will definitely be back, but I will be trying others things in hopes of liking them as much as that delicious cauliflower taco. read more

The food is fun and trendy but it's very pricey for what you get!! For this price I would expect a full sit down service and a nicer seating aesthetic. The guacamole is amazing! Not a bad experience but for a family of 4 it was $135+ for a few tacos and an order of guacamole. read more

We stop in at TacoParty as a must when in GJ. The food is just so fresh and flavorful and the staff is always incredibly friendly and helpful. We love the soft serve ice cream, the cocktails, the great atmosphere and food. One of the foodie bright spots on the Western Slope! read more

Tacoparty - Guacamole and drinks to start - Tacos Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

What a chic modern eatery! There are some pretty creative stuff on the menu. To keep matters simple, the four of us ordered one of each taco so we can have our own little sampling party. Guac to start things off. The only other time I had better guac was when it was mixed in front of me. Tacoparty's guac is also freshly made. They mix a lot of fresh ingredients on top you almost don't see the avocado (but can definitely taste it)! The seasoning used reminds me of fureikaki which is Japanese so this makes the dish pretty fushioned. Actually so are their tacos. Almost all of them taste new and exciting. Granted it's not the best tacos I've had but I would eat here again if given the opportunity. We also got the trout and at first I thought it was salmon as it had that signature salmon color. The fish was grilled to perfection and tasted fresh. The last best thing was the Szechuan honey peach soft serve! We were visiting palisade for peaches and this ice cream still had noticeable peachy flavors even after we spent all day eating fresh peaches! With a little kick of spicy and sweetness. We regret not getting an additional one to share. read more

I got the hot fried chicken taco and would order it over and over. also got the cactus appetizer, its expensive but you do get a lot ! and was also good. will comeback if passing through. read more

Food is great. They Got rid of the socialist tipping program which was smart. Very expensive for tacos 4 tacos & chips and salsa $60+ lol

The food and ambience were great and service was fantastic. The fried chicken taco was a hit.

The menu is small but mighty! We tried all the tacos! The chips and salsa trio.. ALL the tacos were delish! Truly the best tacos we have had in quite a while. The pork al pastor was by far the best taco. The chips are so tasty!! The red salsa was so good that we bought some and took it home! If you haven't tried this place, you have been missing out! read more

Amazing food and phenomenal service! Stopped in while passing through town on a road trip and glad we did. Had the 4 different tacos and the guacamole. Everything was delicious but the guacamole was to die for. Others mentioned a service chance; however, we were notified at the register that has been removed. We will definitely be back! read more

Good same boring tacos no! Most unique and delicious food I've ever had stuff was great five stars all the way read more

Good tacos, but little else to choose from. Added 18% tip before we we had any service. No issues, but the tip should be based on the service. I may have tipped more, but not up front. read more

My new favorite taco joint. The guacamole is the best I've ever had! Got the Al Pastor and brisket tacos they were fantastic with large chunks of meat. Definitely try their homemade hot sauce. The service is amazing too. Very attentive staff that brought everything before we even knew we needed it. read more

The Tacos are delicious , but $46 dollars for 3 tacos + a kids taco & quesadilla (6" tortilla) is too much. It also took 20 minutes with a pretty empty restaurant Food is good, but pricey and kinda slow read more

Holy cow these tacos are incredible! The pork belly was yummy and the hot sauce is delicious!! I got 3 tacos but could have easily eaten a 4th--- they are small street tacos. Very pricey but worth it! read more

Tacoparty - Guacamole. - Tacos Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

We stopped here on the way from Denver to Moab. Employees are cool. We ordered a few tacos and elote and I did feel like it took a bit longer than expected but that's not an issue. The interior decor is nice, they have skateboards hanging up around the place. We overall had a good time. The elote was not bad but it definitely was a little different than I'm used to. You should give it a try! Thanks! read more

Met the family for lunch at Tacoparty while visiting family over the holiday weekend. GJ isn't known for their restaurants, but there are some gems out there and Tacoparty is one of them. The service was outstanding and everything we ordered was very good. We ordered chips, guac, elote, fried nopales, fish tacos, kfc tacos, cauliflower tacos, sweet yam tacos and the agua fresca of the day. The hit of the table was the elote which was spicy and packed a punch. The nopales were very good and my only critique is that the batter was a little too thick and they could've used salt after they came out of the fryer. The cauliflower taco was very good and I wish I would've asked for a corn tortilla but the flour tortilla held up nicely to the sauce. My husband's favorite was the sweet yam taco because it was nicely seasoned and flavorful. My least favorite was the guacamole which I've ordered before. I think the flavors are unique but it lacks salt, especially if you don't get a chip that's salted. The agua fresca was watermelon which was nice, pulpy and superb. The prices are very steep, coming from someone who lives in SoCal. I had a bit of sticker shock when my portion of the bill came to $67 and the total spent for 4 of us was $125 before tip. The meal was delicious and company was even better. read more

Very good flavor but extremely expensive for what you get. After spending $16 I was still hungry. But the thing that really angered me was they charged 18% for takeout. 18% for handing me something. I will not be back. read more

This is our fave taco place in town. It's gastro-inspired menu is unique and full of flavor. I love the braised bison tacos, el pastor taco, twice fried yam taco, and the tostada. They garnish with edible flowers. The house margs have a dried hibiscus salt rim and simple flavor. It's all so good and the service and quality never disappoints! Heads Up - They do automatically add an 18% gratuity/surcharge for every order. read more
